Ship arrest is a judicial remedy and is not automatically available simply because a maritime invoice remains unpaid. The claim must be examined under the applicable Chilean legal framework, including the nature of the debt, contractual relationships, vessel ownership, jurisdiction and evidentiary requirements.

For this reason, a creditor who learns that a vessel is approaching Quintero should begin preparing the claim before the vessel arrives.

Useful information includes the vessel IMO number, current position, expected arrival, registered owner, contracting party, invoice balance and all documents proving delivery or completion of services.
